No but I can draw you a shitty picture
Do it i wanna see the shitty picture!
i am trying to think of beauty today started really shitty. someone turned off my cat’s litter box i’m gonna need more than a minute.
Oh thats unfortunate, I think you should use one of the shit nuggets as a crayon for your masterpiece.
Jokes aside, I hope your day turns around and you find some beauty in it
the beauty i am finding is that the person who turned it off (by her own admission so she could see how quickly i jumped to the conclusion that it was her that turned it off. except we were all right there moving boxes so like, i am not sure she was thinking things through) she is someone else’s problem for the next foreseeable future. goodbye! don’t let the ass kicking machine kick you in the ass on your ass out!
Yes. Will I? No I have other stuff to do tonight.
Maybe tomorrow? :)
eh, best I can do


Adorable!
Lil sprite cheering you on

that’s a good little sprite!
🌱✨🌱✨ Sprite blessings upon thee
That looks really nice. You should share that on !artshare@lemmy.world
Ooo I didn’t know this thread existed~ thank youu
Beautiful!
This feels like a little Hollowknight OC, I love them. Hello Greenpath bestie
This is super good. I love it.
I honestly can’t. They tell me drawing, like playing an instrument, just takes patience and time. I can play multiple instruments, but my drawing skills have been the same since I was about 8.
I once drew a picture of Judge Dredd, that came out half-decent when I was 12. However it was mostly traced and took me hours.
Username does not bear out in reality.
I got skills!! Just can’t draw for shit 🤣
You’re fine. Just let the pencil wander and see what comes out!
Thats the beauty of art though, its just a thing humans do, you dont have to be “good at it”.
The commodification of art has made us forget what being human means
I’m the same as you, haven’t really improved at drawing since I was a little kid. But this is Lemmy, not Reddit. People here aren’t looking for perfection, your drawing skills are more than enough for this thread.
It’s of course fine to not want to draw something, but don’t hold back just because you think your skills aren’t good enough.
I’m TERRIBLE at drawing :((
So no pressure!
And I’m terrible at looking at drawings. But if you draw it, I’ll look at it.
People aren’t looking for skill here, this isn’t an art community. Don’t let your lack of skills stop you from trying. Even a stick figure is good enough.

I love how expressive this is, and how it juxtaposes the authors main thesis against an elegant visual counterpoint.
You just drew something & I love it, creating something doesn’t have to meet mainstream standards, the act of creation is at the heart of art :)
What’s everyone using to draw? I shouldn’t be suprised that Lemmy users are overwhelming choosing digital art. Personally, I used the Sketchbook app with a pressure sensitive stylus.
It, uh, genuinely didn’t occur to me that I could draw with my hands physically
I used the fossify paint app on my phone.
My notes app has a drawing option.
Pencil, watercolour, then a random mix of biro, gel pen, fountain pen for details
I use Krita, and a Wacom Intuos tablet. (Currently on Windows. …I have confirmed both 100% work on Linux tho.)
Photoshop and a huion display tablet.
Here’s something I drew last week.

I never got around to really properly starting a game project I was making 9 years ago (gee, time flies) called The Great Adventure. In it you’d explore a tropical island! In the quit screen there was a message “the turtles bid you goodbye!”
Now the game was just a text-based thing written in Turbo Pascal for DOS, but this illustration here is what I had in mind.
That sounds like a really cute game. Love the turtle too!
Wow, I haven’t thought about Turbo Pascal or Borland in such a long time! Thanks for triggering some happy memories. I bid the turtle goodbye back!
A crow I did for Halloween, dunno about beautiful but it’s the first time I tried watercolors.

Bloody good first go!
Here’s one from a couple days ago.

There was a subreddit that I really miss called something like “whatsthiscookiecutter”, where people would post a cookie cutter they couldn’t figure out. People would create all sorts of weird, random, and funny drawings.
Be the change you want to see. Make that community.
I’d love to, but I was just a lurker. I have the artistic talent of a potato :(
All the more reason to moderate it and find weird cookie cutters and have other people draw.

Kittens are a reliable source of joy
Has a look like you just caught it in the middle of making mischief!
Well of course! They are mischief incarnate after all >:)
VeeDub aerial fun…
